Hi there

Is there a way to display my own GPS tracks on a small map in my website? Like an embedded youtube video.

Cheers
Forest

Sure Forest, you can easily do that, the steps are:
- Open a trail page (e.g: Elden Loop in Arizona http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=12125 )
- From the right hand side you'll see the option: Embed in your website , click on it and grab the HTML code to paste in your web site.



Additionally if you want to show the elevation profile just below the map (like in wikiloc's home page) add the parameter: measures=on

To force metric units when the language is in english (urls starting with en.wikiloc.com) add the parameter metricunits=on

Additional parameters to show/hide additional information are: title=on&near=on&images=on

Additionally you can choose your prefered default map type to show: "Normal Map" (streets, roads), "Satellite", "Hybrid" (a combination of Normal and Satellite) or the new "Terrain" layer by adding the maptype parameter:
To show the Normal Map maptype=M
To show the Satellite use maptype=S
For Hybrid Map use maptype=H
For Terrain (physical) Map use maptype=T


Websites that shows embedded trail maps: http://www.rutasmtbmurcia.com/rutas-wikiloc , http://ldiegoes.blogspot.com or http://wikiloc.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-map-layer-available.html

Hope it helps!
Cheers

How can I default the View of the embedded map to Map, instead of the currently defaulted Sattelite View ?

thank you

Hi Erasmo

Thanks much for your message. Frankly I forgot to specify how to change the map type to your prefered view in the previous message (by using the maptype param)

I've updated the post to reflect it.

Best,
Jordi

thank you very much for your info :-)

another question:

can i choose the color of the track ?

it happens that by putting it in orange, it gets a little bit lost with the rest of the map (the roads are also orange or yellow)

i guess that another color, for example: blue or red, could be a more contrasting color

is this possible ?

thank you

Not at the moment, but I'm considering to add it since it has been suggested as a useful feature see: http://www.wikiloc.com/forum/posts/list/17.page

ok Jordi, muchas gracias por la info :-)

ya están cambiados los mapas en mi nuevo blog (donde quiero usar tus mapas embedded), usando ahora los de wikiloc :-)

saludos y mil gracias por los mapas !

Interesantes opciones a añadir en los embebed... :-o

Pues me sumo a esta estupenda herramienta, muchísimas gracias!
